Abstract
With every-increasing requirements for higher frequency and higher power electronic converters, thermal management considerations and means for thermal analysis have become of great importance. A thermal optimization algorithm of the power devices´s positions on the heat sink by means of the NISA II-PC application program is proposed. This algorithm is based on an elaborate thermal and electrical converter model and the three-dimensional finite element method
